Abstract Because of environmental concerns, the zinc content in rubber compounds has come under scrutiny; therefore it is necessary to explore possibilities to reduce this zinc content. In this article the application of several zinc complexes as activator for sulfur vulcanization are discussed, in order to find alter…
This work investigates the impact of surface and bulk polaritons on the optical properties, especially the reflectance, of a negative index metamaterial (NIM) sandwiched between different dielectric layers. Regime maps are developed to describe the polariton dispersion relations and to help understand the effect of th…
The effect of block copolymer architecture on the suppression of droplet coalescence and on the interfacial elasticity was studied in immiscible blends of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyisoprene (PI) with a droplet-matrix morphology. The PDMS-PI diblock copolymers used in this study to compatibilize the blends di…

A combined catalyst and sorbent was prepared and utilized for steam reforming methane and propane in laboratory-scale systems. The material was prepared in the form of small spherical pellets having a layered structure such that each pellet consisted of a highly reactive lime or dolime core enclosed within a porous bu…
Nonceramic insulators, also referred to as composite, polymer or polymeric insulators, are used in overhead transmission lines with line voltages in the range of 69 to 735 kV. Despite the many benefits that nonceramic insulators offer in comparison with their porcelain counterparts, they can fail mechanically in servi…
BiFeO 3 (BFO) thin films were formed by depositing sol–gel solutions on Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si<100> substrates. Five minute annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere at 550°C was sufficient to obtain crystalline BFO films. The leakage current density in BFO films was found to decrease markedly after optimizing the process con…
To make a practical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the large-scale reactive chemical systems of Li-H and Li-C, we have optimized parameters of the reactive force field (ReaxFF) for these systems. The parameters for this force field were obtained from fitting to the results of density functional theory (DFT) cal…
A general approach for the frequency-domain homogenization of multiturn windings in two-dimensional (2-D) finite element (FE) calculations is presented. First, a skin and proximity effect characterization of the individual conductors, of arbitrary cross-section and packing, is obtained using a representative 2-D FE mo…
This review aims to give an overview of current good practice in the prosecution of Lead Generation. It will assess experiences across the field as judged from the contents of the limited number of peer-review disclosures to date. It will also rely heavily on the experiences of the authors from many campaigns within t…
With contributions from experts in supported metal catalysis from both the industry and academia, this book presents the latest developments in characterization and application of supported metals in heterogeneous catalysis. In addition to thorough and updated coverage of the traditional aspects of heterogeneous catal…
Abstract Polyurethanes can be prepared using polyols obtained from vegetable oils in natura , such as castor oil, or from functionalized vegetable oils, such as hydroxylated soybean oil. These polyurethanes have different valuable properties, determined by their chemical composition and cross‐linking density. In this…
A well-defined, high-density poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) brush was fabricated on the surface of a poly(tetrafluoroethylene- co -hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) film by surface-initiated living radical polymerization (LRP). First, a sufficient amount of peroxides as initiating moieties were successfully introd…
A fiber-optic sensor is designed based on multicavity Fabry-Perot interferometry for the study of optical thickness in self-assembled thin-film layers. This miniature sensor is applicable not only to the measurement of self-assembled polyelectrolyte layers but also to the immobilization of proteins such as immunoglobu…
Abstract We describe here in detail the recently introduced methodology for simulation of structural transitions in crystals. The applications of the new scheme are illus trated on various kinds of crystals and the advantages with respect to previous schemes are emphasized. The relevance of the new method for the prob…
Abstract GDIS is a freely available chemical visualization program for displaying molecules, periodic structures, and crystal morphologies. A key feature of the package is the mechanism for constructing and manipulating arbitrary crystal surfaces. This enables GDIS to offer a powerful tool set for computing surface an…
The structural, emissive, and nonlinear optical properties of new CuI adducts with para-substituted trans-stilbazolic and pyridinic ligands are reported. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction results indicate that the para-substituent on the organic ligand greatly influences the structural motif by its steric (tert-butyl),…
Ferric alkoxides (Fe(OR) 3 ), where R = Et, n Pr, i Pr, and n Bu, were used as initiators for bulk ring-opening polymerization of lactides. It was showed that these ferric alkoxides were efficient initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of lactides with higher than 90% of monomer conversions polymerized at 130…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a narrow diameter distribution are synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of methane over Fe/MgO catalyst on the basis of parametric study considering Fe loading, reaction temperature and time, methane concentration, and structure of a support material. We fo…
A tissue-engineered small-diameter arterial graft would be of benefit to patients requiring vascular reconstructive procedures. Our objective was to produce a tissue-engineered vascular graft with a high patency rate that could withstand arterial pressures. Rat arteries were acellularized with a series of detergent so…
